Loved it. Liked the climbing mechanics but I wish it would be a bit faster. Loved how fire spreads across the map and makes it more challenging to save koalas. Overall a fun game. Good Job!

A koalaty game (how has no one said this yet!?) - well done! the game is super hard - I could only save 2 - and that made me sad :(

Thanks! I know right? It's doable. If you get 3 stars let me know ;)

Interesting game. Climbing looks good, the fire spreads nicely. So mechanicly sound. Sadly, it's burning up my pc as well ^^. Hopefully that can be patched out later. 

Was not a fan of the sleeping mechanic or the fact the babies get burned while on the escape pad.

Love the original idea and the fire mechanics.
Climbing is a great idea but feels a little bit weird sometimes.
Anyway, a very nice game!

Okay. I'm all in.

Also I had this in my head while climbing one of the trees in this game. Very cool that you implemented climbing, don't see that one in jams often.
I like the environmentalist tone. I have personally thought for awhile that there's untapped potential in firefighting as a video game. Cool game! Thanks!

Cute little project! Although the cover image is cool, I think it'd be more appealing if it closer matched the 3d style of the game. I found the fire visuals to be a little confusing in determining where exactly I needed to spray the water. With the very limited time, I wasn't sure if I could increase it somehow so opted instead to just run through the flames for a more direct route. I think there is just a little too much going on in such a short amount of time. I would recommend focusing more on the huge potential of the fire, water and tree climbing mechanics. I think it would also be useful to know where the baby koalas are/were, even roughly or occasionally. Lastly, the download size is a bit rough on slower connections. Looking forward to seeing where you take the game!

Hey everyone. I just released HOTFIX update to fix the performance issues and the interactivity problems with objects around sometimes. I also increased the fire visibility. Have fun getting 3 stars on the level :DDDD

This was a really cool game! I just found myself getting sad when I couldn't save the baby koalas but you know what that means I was emotionally invested so props to the team!

Developer

Thank you so much :D We just released a hotfix that fixes the performance issue so you will be hopefully trying out to get the 3 stars!

I can't believe Metal Gear Solid 3: Snake Eater stole the tree-climbing mechanic from this game

Developer

Lmao thanks. Lemme know when u get 3 stars!
